Fall 2007 Classes

ENG 121: Composition I (section 010—M/W 11-12:15 and section H01 (Honors)—M/W 2:30-3:45)
This class will focus on seeing the multiple possibilities within a piece of writing. The course emphasizes planning, writing, and revising compositions and shaping them for different audiences. We will explore writing topics from different perspectives or angles (what if you wrote about your spring break from your parents’ point of view, for example? Or from the perspective of the stranger on the beach who looked at you funny that one day?) Our classroom will function as a kind of laboratory or studio where class members will engage in writing and learn not only by doing but also by watching others and critiquing their progress.

ENG 122: Composition II (section 005—T/R 9:30-10:45 and section 007—T/R 11-12:15)
This course focuses on how to find, evaluate, and use sources from the Internet, the library, and beyond. Students will not write a conventional research paper; instead, they will write in a variety of different genres, from a variety of different perspectives, using a variety of different techniques. Students will learn how to manage a large research project, how to take risks in their writing, and how to defend their research and writing choices.

LIT 145: Literature, Women, & Society (section 001—T/R 1-2:15)
This class will explore how women and their unique concerns are represented in fiction, poetry, drama, and film; whether there is a female literary tradition; and whether or how gender makes a difference in literature production and consumption.


Fall classes begin August 27.

Hey sunshine,

Your header says Spring 2007--thinking way ahead.
And I believe you are not teaching the online class either, unless this is way into the future.
